Stitched

"This quilt" said the lonely giraffe
"Is not really my kind of stuff
love its flowery style
but I've been here a while
And I feel that it's quite enough"

An answer than came from the quilt
"What EVER, I don't need this guilt
you can have it your way
I'm not making you stay
I hope that you're getting my tilt"

At this the giraffe did depart
It did, though it broke the quilt's heart
but of course they were stitched
ever since they've been hitched
Thus cut out a hole in the art
